Something to cheer us all up in this crazy world...

oh dear... too much Christmas spirit?

We all need something to cheer us up in a world that has seemingly gone mad...

Am I just getting more cynical, or is the world getting more stupid? I'm starting to think Idiocracy was a documentary, not a satire.

Looking forward to an evening of great theatre at the Theatre Royal in Norwich. Les Miserables as done by the amateur theatre groups of East Anglia!

There's a bill passing through parliament at the moment called the Data Bill

An added amendment would completely remove trans people's right to privacy, and could even revert legal documents

We have to apply a lot of pressure on this one too MPs. More info here:

I’ve made a 20 minute video about the current state of discussion surrounding trans rights in the UK. The piece is kind of what it would be like if John Oliver were British, if you could imagine such a thing.

How about something that isn't about doom and gloom to brighten your Saturday... :)

I believe all people should stand with the oppressed, the underdogs, the unjustly accused, no matter how hard the oligarchs and demagogues try to convince you otherwise.

Sharing this for all my US-based friends and colleagues who may need this during these dsngerous times.

Weaponising DEI is a symptom of a misogynistic oligarchy that doesn't want a human workforce but a drone army they can control and exploit. Real humanity is looking past the surface, looking for - and accepting - the value in others.

My grandparents fought in WW2 in Europe. My 16 year-old grandfather hid in lofts and joined the armed resistance to fight for the life of those he loved in occupied Belgium.

Agreed. Being a decent person has nothing to do with your neurodiversity.

Musk and Gaiman are hiding behind the label and using it as an excuse, just making life harder for the rest of us.
I'm so tired of it.

Neil Gaiman claiming autism.

Musk claiming autism.

Autism doesn't make you do terrible, terrible things.

Stop. Blaming. Autism.

Anybody with me?

Sometimes I fear parody is prescient. It has been my contention for some time now that if a country has a retirement age, all members of the political leadership should also adhere to it. Older does not automatically mean wiser!

I love and hate this image. Why? Aesthetically, it is stunning. In reality, it is most likely AI generated and fools us into thinking it is real. AI can bring great benefits, but I don't agree with it replacing human art. Disclaimer: I have a degree and 30 years experience in the AI field...

My favourit shot from a recent trip to the coast. The window was fogged and wet, leading to a hazy look I really love. #photography
